Acoustic Guitar
Years 3–6Chords, finger-picking, tab and notation. Guitars come in sizes — check with the teacher before buying or renting.
Music lessons at your school
Taught by visiting teachers, during the school day
Thirteen instruments and singing, taught inside your child's own primary school — no evening taxi runs, no waiting lists at the town music centre. From Year 1 recorder to Year 6 saxophone.
What we teach
Fourteen ways in
Every instrument shows the year groups it's open to — that's the first thing parents ask, so it's the first thing on every card. Beginners welcome on all of them.
Strings & Guitars
Electric Guitar
Years 3–6Chords and melody lines — learn the classic rock songs. You'll also need a small amp and jack lead.
Bass Guitar
Years 5–6The backbone of bands and ensembles, with plenty of funky riffs to learn.
Ukulele
Years 1–6A wonderful little starter instrument — and the perfect stepping stone to guitar later on.
Violin
Years 3–6 · Y2 if big enoughComes in sizes for young starters — the pathway to orchestras and string groups.
Keys, Voice & Drums
Keyboard
Years 1–6Tunes in the right hand, chords in the left, drum beats built in — pop, Disney, musicals.
Piano
Years 1–6Treble and bass clef and a huge repertoire. A keyboard with full-size keys at home is fine to start.
Singing
Years 1–6Expression, confidence and vocal range — all styles, all the songs they've always wanted to sing.
Drums
Years 3–6Styles and beats — drum along to your favourite tracks. Electric kits are quieter for home practice.
Woodwind & Brass
Recorder
Years 1–6One of the easiest instruments to pick up — and a great stepping stone to flute or clarinet.
Flute
Years 1–6KS1 pupils start on a fife or curved-head flute; older starters may go straight to full size.
Clarinet
Years 3–6A lovely mellow sound, at home in orchestras and jazz bands. Smaller "Clarineo" models make starting easier.
Saxophone
Years 5–6Woodwind, not brass! Played with a reed just like a clarinet — and nobody can resist a sax solo.
Trumpet / Cornet
Years 3–6Reading music, fingering, buzzing the mouthpiece — jazz, classical and film scores (Star Wars!).
Also on offer: Choir Club Performing Arts Club Street Dance Gymnastics Club

Why start now
Small hands, big sounds
Primary school is the best time to start an instrument — small-size violins, curved-head flutes and Clarineos mean nobody has to wait to grow into the music.
In the school day
Lessons happen at school, during school hours — no extra journeys for families, and music becomes a normal part of the week, not a chore after it.
Sized to start
From Year 1 upwards there's a right-sized way in: ukulele and recorder for the youngest, fractional violins, and bigger instruments as pupils grow into Years 5–6.
No barriers to entry
Instrument hire when you book, monthly or termly payment plans, and discount applications for families who need them.
Prices
Simple prices, every instrument
One price list across all thirteen instruments and singing — pick the lesson style that suits your child, then pay monthly or once a term. Same total either way: monthly simply spreads the cost evenly across the year.

Step 1 of 6 — Signup
Step 1 · of 6
Parents sign up themselves.
One link goes home in the book bag. Parents pick the school, the instrument and the year group — no paper forms, no email chains, nothing retyped into a spreadsheet.
- Works on any phone, branded as your service
- You approve each signup with one click
Step 2 · of 6
They pay monthly, automatically.
£34 a month by Direct Debit, collected on the 1st, every month, without you asking. The invoice-chasing that eats your evenings simply stops existing.
- Failed payments retried and flagged for you
- Pro-rata handled when pupils join mid-term
Step 3 · of 6
You timetable the tutors.
Every tutor, school and slot on one grid. Drop a pupil from the waiting list straight into a lesson — clashes are flagged before they happen, and every change flows to everyone it affects.
- Tutor availability and travel time respected
- Term dates and INSET days already in the grid
Step 4 · of 6
Reminders go out on their own.
The school office gets the timetable. Parents get “lessons start Tuesday”. Reschedules notify exactly the families affected — you never write any of it.
- Timetable PDF attached automatically
- Every message logged against the pupil
Step 5 · of 6
Lesson happens, register taken.
Your tutor taps the register on their phone and jots one line per pupil. The lesson note lands in the parent’s inbox before the tutor reaches the car park.
- Absences alert you the same morning
- Parents see progress every single week
Step 6 · of 6
You get the data.
Attendance, missed-lesson alerts, pupils by school, monthly revenue — live, not reconstructed at half-term from three spreadsheets and a bank statement.
- Spot a fading pupil before the parent cancels
- Know which schools are growing, and why
The whole flow
Six movements, one piece.
Each step feeds the next — the signup writes the timetable, the timetable writes the reminders, the register writes the reports.
